After the Verizon OTA JB update (4.1.2), My Gallery will not open. It just says "Error while launching application." The default camera app does the same thing.
Third party apps (LittlePhoto and Camera ZOOM FX) seem to be working fine, and I am looking for a good Gallery app in case I cannot get this fixed.
I tried clearing data/cash for Gallery app. I found somewhere that this was supposed to fix this problem. It didn't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i would just wipe data in recovery
you will need to backup, texts, call logs, contacts… if you want to save
how to.. in my list

Really hoping there is an easier way to fix this. Looks like several people have the problem (judging by a google search), but no solutions yet.
Motorola's "My Gallery" was removed by the update and replaced with Google "Gallery" app.
If My Gallery is still listed (and tied to the camera) it sounds like your install didn't install completely or you restored things after the update.
You may want to flash the JB fastboot files, factory reset and reconfigure.
That was it! Looks like the camera app was also replaced. I was using App Manager. It kept the "links" to the old apps in the icon folders. After removing the old camera and gallery icons, and then adding the new ones, everything works fine.
Thanks tcrews!

I'm running the latest stock rooted (2.16.651.4) and just tried to use the Zoe function in camera. It's the first time I've tried to use it since the update, and it's crashing the camera app left and right. When I switch from any other function to Zoe, crash. I bring camera back up, and it'll be in Zoe, but half of the time, it'll crash right away again. If it does stay up, it seems to work until I switch away and back again.
My question is, could anyone share the apk for camera (assuming it'll contain all of the functions including Zoe) so I can try to reload the app? Or if anyone knows of a different fix, I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks.

Try clearing the App Cache in the App Settings to reset the camera to the default settings.
Edit: Interestingly enough, my camera app crashes when I switch to Zoe, but without a crash alert (not sure if my custom Rom has blocked those). The difference is that u can open my camera into Zoe, and successfully capture Zoe images.
That's almost identical to my problem. No crash alert, the app just goes down. If, by stroke of luck, I can get it to run with Zoe, I can take images just fine. The problem shows back up when I try to use any other camera function then go back to Zoe.
I did get one error, systemui crashed and it was the report or not error, but that only happened once.
I cleared the cache, and while it doesn't crash 8 out of 10 times, it'll still go down like 4 out of 10. If I cleared the app data, would that smoke my pictures or anything?

No. It only clears the App data for the camera, making it as 8f you opened the camera for the first time, pop-up tips and all.
Well, I cleared the app data, and while it didn't completely fix things, it's definitely crashing less. If I last used the camera in Zoe, the next camera launch crashes, along with a random crash when switching from another function to Zoe. It certainly ain't perfect, it'll do for now I suppose.
So I updated my z3 compact to 6.0.1.
Everything works fine except for one thing - switching between apps. Before I could switch between app and continue from where I was.
Now they are reloading. As if they are started anew.
For example if I am reading a long article in chrome and switch to facebook app and then back, page is reloaded and I end up at the beginning, meaning I have to scroll down, find where I stopped. Same with facebook, it is reloaded and I have to scroll through timeline or a group etc. This is just an example. It is the same with other apps too. Wasn't like that before.
Tried googling, tried checking settings - no luck. Am I missing some obvious setting or something? Does anyone else had this problem? It is really annoying.
Thanks for help.
Another 'Marshmallow is broken' post .....yawn....
I am not saying it's broken. It works fine.
I am just looking for a way to sort out app reloading.
It might be some sort of app management, app disabling / killing when their are not used.
Maybe it's similar to Samsung spmc?
Have you tried asking your question in the Marshmallow thread? where people are interested in the latest broken firmware release.
This thread links to an app that is supposed to make things right again
Hi
Since I installed android pie roms like havoc2.4 or pixel experience, I had issues with the camera.
I installed gapps for pie and tried rooted or non-rooted states of my phone. All of the apps are working perfectly except for the camera ( Google Camera ).
When I want to start the camera app it stops working. I tried uninstalling it using adb then reinstall it but it didn't work. I also tried the "clear cache" method too which ended up being the same thing.
crash log url ---> ht-tps://del.dog/opuwuwejuw (Sorry for messing with the link. it's site rule I guess.
I try other camera apps too but they're so bad at capturing good pictures except for the open camera ( which stops working if I want to record a video).
It's a messy situation. Any Help?
Call me crazy but I went to APK mirror and downloaded Samsung's corresponding apps for the phone messaging and their camera app oh and also the internet browser and the internet browser is the only one that works. The camera one won't install the phone and messaging app installed but the messaging app force closes right away and the phone app looks to be launching it but then it just goes back to the home screen. I am rooted that helps and makes any difference. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thank you very much. Alsoeveryone that loves customer recoveries and custom ROMs and tweaking out your phone just hang in there little bit longer because I have a feeling that the TWRP team is going to figure it out any day now and it'll be nice to be able to back up my ROM and try something new or a different kernel without having to do everything in fast boot.
